Reverb (short for reverberation) is the acoustic environment that surrounds a sound. Natural reverb exists everywhere. Whether the space being described is a bathroom or a gymnasium, the essential characteristics remain the same. Reverb is composed of a series of tightly-spaced echoes. The number of echoes and the way that they decay play a major role in shaping the sound that you hear. Many other factors influence the sound of a reverberant space.
Vascular calcification (VC) is a predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Hemodialysis (HD) patients suffer from severe vascular calcifications. Matrix Gla protein (MGP) is a central calcification inhibitor of the arterial wall and its activity depends on vitamin K-dependent Î³-glutamate carboxylation. Noncarboxylated MGP, formed as a result of vitamin K deficiency, is associated with cardiovascular disease.
Matrix gla protein (MGP) is member of a family of vitamin-K dependant, Gla-containing proteins. MGP has a high affinity binding to calcium ions, similar to other Gla-containing proteins.The protein acts as an inhibitor of vascular mineralization and plays a role in bone organization.MGP is found in number body tissues in mammals, birds, and fish.Its mRNA is present in bone, cartilage, heart, and kidney.It is present in bone together with the related vitamin K-dependent protein osteocalcin.he protein acts as an inhibitor of vascular mineralization and plays a role in bone organization.
